“People with ADHD have a disruption in their brain’s dopamine reward pathways. With fewer dopamine receptors and transporter availability, individuals with ADHD may resort to reward-seeking behaviors that can help satisfy their brain’s need for additional stimulation,” explains Dani Rodwell, LCSW and co-founder of Neurospark Health.

Jennifer Alumbaugh found her neurodivergent status holding her back in jobs where she quickly outgrew her old position.

Take a look at Elon Musk, says Julie Landry, PsyD, a clinical psychologist at NeuroSpark Health.
